Tree Service in Gig Harbor, Washington
Across the Narrows the lots get bigger and the trees older: firs and cedars on acreage, madronas on the shore, and a lot of property that was forest until the house went in.
Do you work in Gig Harbor? Yes, we cross the bridge to Gig Harbor, Fox Island, Purdy, Wauna and the Key Peninsula. Removals, thinning, lot clearing, stump grinding and storm cleanup on the peninsula’s bigger lots. Estimates are free. Call or text (253) 590-8194.
Gig Harbor and the peninsula are tree country on a different scale from Tacoma. The lots in Crescent Valley, Artondale, Rosedale and out toward Purdy and the Key Peninsula are often an acre or more of second growth fir and cedar, with a house set into the middle of it. On the shoreline it is madronas leaning out over the water and firs on a bank above the dock.
Thinning the stand around the house
The most common peninsula call is not one tree, it is thirty: the firs around the house are tall and crowded, a few are dead, several lean, and the owner wants the dangerous ones gone and the rest safe without clearing the lot. We walk it, mark the removals, thin and lift the keepers, chip the brush on site and leave the logs as firewood or mill them. See lot clearing and milling.
Madronas and the shoreline
Madronas are protected in a lot of places and worth protecting; they are slow, beautiful and do not transplant. Pruning one takes a light hand. Removing a tree on the shoreline or on a bank above the water usually involves the city or county shoreline rules, and we will tell you if your tree is one of those.
Islands and the Key Peninsula
We work on Fox Island and down the Key Peninsula, and we have done jobs on Anderson Island that other companies would not take the ferry for. Dan on Anderson Island wrote that four other companies looked or said no before we showed up, took down 120 foot trees next to his house in half the time he expected, and did it perfectly.

Tree service questions from Gig Harbor
Do you charge extra to cross the bridge?
No separate charge. Bigger jobs on the peninsula are priced like anywhere else; for a single small job we may group it with other peninsula work to keep the price down.
Can you clear an acre of firs for a build?
Yes. Trees, stumps, brush and rough grading, with the logs milled for the build if you want.
Do you prune madronas?
Yes, lightly and carefully. They do not take hard pruning well.
Do you go to Fox Island and the Key Peninsula?
Yes, and to Anderson Island by ferry for the right job.
